Since their return to Cleveland in 1999, the Cleveland Browns have been stuck in the midst of mediocrity. It has often seemed as though the Browns are snakebitten, as the team has suffered through losing season after losing season and it has seemed at times as though there is no end in sight to the bad luck. Many of the team's problems stem from the NFL Draft. With that said, here are the five biggest draft blunders in Browns history.

Although he played just two seasons with the team, Brandon Weeden earned his spot among the worst draft blunders in Browns history with his absolutely horrendous play.

There's no doubt about it; Warren deserves his spot on this list.

The No. 5 overall pick in the 1987 NFL Draft, linebacker Mike Junkin proved to be a very costly choice for the Browns. Playing only two seasons with the team, Junkin was a disastrous pick and deserves his place as the biggest draft blunder in Browns history.
